The shortlist for the public vote of the new public space is:
Navigator Square: Navigators or ‘Navvies’ were the working people who built the roads, railways and tunnels in Archway (and the rest of London). A tribute to the area’s Irish Community and a celebration of the working classes.
Orchid Square: The Archway Tower used to be the site of a glasshouse. It contained orchids grown and collected by the noted orchidologist Benjamin Williams. A nod to a little known but interesting fact about the site.
